From the other side of the pond...

Well I've arrived in Europe and am currently waiting in Heathrow airport in London. The flight out of Chicago was delayed by almost 2 hrs and so I missed my connecting flight in London to get to Cork, Ireland. The flight I am currently waiting for just got pushed back another hour so I've had ample time to sit and people watch. I saw Willie Nelson and Daniel Craig, look-a-likes....

That's this week's update. Check back next week for more....

Just kidding! Once I do finally get to Ireland, I'll try to get a post up within the first few days there. This is certainly going to be one incredible adventure. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that on the flight into London as we circled the city, I had great views of the Thames River, Buckingham palace, the dome, the Eye, London Bridge, and the Parliament Building and Big Ben. I may not have to return to this city because I've already seen some of the biggest sights....

Anyway, my journey continues and I'll be happy when I get out of airports having to wait for delayed flights...

Cheers!

Hey Nathan,

Just finished reading Spencer's blog, which I found through your. Sound like he made it to Rome.

So darn. A little blip before you even leave the Mid-West. Darn that O'Hare. But you'll be fine. Get a book!

I'll try to check in often. Anxious to your thoughts and observations.

Hi, Nathan.
It's Asuka writing from Japan!

The trip sounds like a very adventure! How fun!

I'm now studying much about the history and the geography of Europe, so I really want to go there!

My sister is leaving for Italy on September 5th.

Enjoy your trip!!
